Question

Is my baby's brain developing normally?

Share

Hello, i'm seeking the answer from the nurse or a doctor... I had my blood test done a month ago and my doctor just told me that my thyroid came low. I'm 10,5 weeks pregnant and my next appointment with OBGYN is at 12 weeks (where he tells me what i should take for it). But i have heard that it is very important for baby's brain development to get a thyroid hormone in first 12 weeks. Was that my doc's mistake to tell me so late about it? --
Thanks,

Not sure which doc told you about it, but you need to call your OB. And pester him/her until you do get some answers (doctors may know in their minds if it's a problem or not but sometimes forget to communicate). But I don't think this board is the best place for medical advice like this. There may be a few ladies who have been through it, but really, a medical professional is your best bet. Good luck!
